There are no cities inhabited by humans, nor are there rainforests full of life. When you enter the Garden of Exile from the belly of the arrogant Land Emperor Turtle, all you see is snow and wind.

The temperature of around minus zero is not considered a harsh living environment, but there are no man-made facilities near the teleportation array at the entrance of the courtyard.

The locusts were jumping around in the snow, unafraid of the cold. In some muddy places that had obviously been trampled, the color of blood could be faintly seen.

Those should be the traces left by the exiles who were close to the teleportation array.

It is said that when the exiles approach the teleportation array, they will be attacked by a swarm of insects, and except for a little bit of soil being stained red, there will be no trace of them left in the world.

The cold wind blew their cloaks, making them rustle, and a group of young men and women, hiding their figures and faces, stepped into this snowy land.

Mu Hua was a little surprised to see a few people in the crowd wearing bulky clothes.

They are humans whose physical fitness remains at the level of ordinary people. Mu Hua did not expect that there would be such people among the guests at the banquet. It seems that the demon clan's selection of contractors is really a bit "inclusive".

A bright cold light flashed, and the use of technological weapons was not allowed in the Court of Exile.

Magic, combat skills, and even powerful holy swords, staffs, and bows and arrows can be used to kill the exiles.

However, magical weapons and even offensive magic scrolls are prohibited from being used in this courtyard.

"Let's go." Holding the Night Demon Blade and confirming that there was no danger around the teleportation array, Mu Hua said to Taibesha and the other two.

Tabitha was wearing heavy armor and holding a shield. Although Barbara was holding a long-handled battle axe, she and Tina were both equipped with light armor. Under the cover of the cloak, Tabitha looked the most bloated among the three women.

The endless white snow, mountains, pine forests, and the surrounding scenery seem to be all the same vast and desolate.

Mu Hua and his four companions found a direction and left, and the people who were traveling with them also dispersed one after another, finding directions to track the traces of the exiles.

"Can these locusts be killed?" Mu Hua asked with a frown as he walked in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, rejecting some invitations to join a team. As they dispersed and there were no outsiders around him and his three companions, he asked with a frown.

Locusts are still locusts.

Occasionally, some wild animal footprints can be seen in the snowy scene, but no monsters or exiles have been encountered so far.

There were always a few locusts following Mu Hua and his companions, either jumping and chasing them or flying and tracking them. They would shake off some of them, but would always meet them again.

According to Mu Hua's observation, the flying speed of these locusts was even comparable to that of his blind ravens. They jumped and ran like bullets. The actions of several people were all under the observation of their compound eyes. Mu Hua felt impatient.

"It's better not to, and we can't kill them all." Tina shook her head.

"There are countless locusts like these in the Exiled Courtyard. The demons use them to control all movements in the entire courtyard."

"Although they are monitoring our actions, if you are in danger, the ghosts and gods will rescue you," Barbara explained.

"We? What about you?" Tabitha asked for confirmation after hearing some meaning in Barbara's words.

"You are the guests at the banquet. The demon clan will try their best to prevent you from getting into trouble in Alan."

"Giving liberation to the exiles is our rite of passage. If we are in danger, well... it depends on the mood of the gods and ghosts." Tina pondered her words and summarized.

Obviously, this courtyard should be suppressed by the ghost who has never been met.

Ghosts and gods are not babysitters. Contractors like Mu Hua are guests and may perform some maintenance.

But that ghost should be quite capricious. He will not interfere too much in the life and death of the demon in training. There is no standard for saving or not saving. It all depends on his mood.

"That means, our every move from now on will be exposed to the observation of ghosts and gods?" Mu Hua asked, looking at the locusts staying nearby.

"kindness."

"Okay, hello, boss. Thank you for your hard work." Mu Hua was helpless, then turned around and greeted Locust. His flattering words made the three women roll their eyes.

Facing Mu Hua's greeting, the locust did not respond at all and continued to lie there stupidly in the distance.

Mu Hua didn't know what the mechanism of the ghost's ability to use locusts for surveillance was, but he guessed that the ghost had no interest in paying attention to him.

"Call the Ravens." Since the boss didn't respond and the locusts couldn't be shaken off, Mu Hua simply ignored the nearby locusts and raised his hand to summon a flock of crows. A sky full of black crows hovered in the sky. When Barbara was surprised, Mu Hua once again summoned the undead.

"Fuck!" Barbara yelled.

With the appearance of dozens of terrifying riders, Barbara immediately stood in front of Tabitha.

Even after confirming that these terrifying riders were Mu Hua's summoned beasts, Barbara still had a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

As Mu Hua took action, the locusts near the few people also reacted. As if frightened, the locusts spread their wings and made slight insect chirps in the air.

"BOSS, isn't this too ostentatious?" After the Terror Rider, Tina asked cautiously when she saw Mu Hua summoning Monday again.

"Making Leviathan into a zombie guarding the gate is really ostentatious. Get on the horse, this courtyard is not small, we are in a hurry."

Summoning the Infernal Warhorse, Mu Hua bestowed the Blessing of Courage on Tabitha and the other two girls, and pulled Tina to ride with him. Ignoring Barbara's surprise, Mu Hua said to Tabitha.

Originally, Mu Hua might have felt that his own summoned beast was a bit ostentatious, but the demon side had both Leviathan and ghosts.

The swarms of insects that monitored the entire courtyard made it impossible for Mu Hua to estimate how strong the other party's mental power was.

The conflict between humans and monsters often turns into a war. Mu Hua estimated that his limited resources were at most a commando team in the eyes of the other side.

And in front of true monsters like ghosts and gods, there is nothing to hide.

Tabitha and Barbara rode with a terror rider each, and under the guidance of the raven, the infernal horses broke through the snow waves and began to track the exiles in the snow and wind.

The dark cavalry was spreading the breath of death in the snow, and some nearby demons who noticed the movement were shocked and puzzled.

At this time, in a wizard's tower on the Exiled Island, a man wearing a ghost mask on his face had a strange flash in his eyes.

"General House, has the old lich also sent people to the banquet this time?" The man asked a sturdy old man below him with a magnetic voice.

There is no throne, nor sculptures symbolizing majesty. In addition to some exquisite works of art, the hall is like a modern villa and even has many modern furniture and electrical appliances.

At the circular table, the masked man sat at the head of the table. In addition to the old man in military uniform who was being questioned by him, there were two mature women in gorgeous clothes sitting around him.

"Your Highness, the seventh one has not sent anyone. He said he would come before the New Year, but recently cancelled it. Is there any problem?" The old man replied respectfully.

"Oh? Not the seventh person? Haha, a very interesting little guy." The masked man chuckled and waved his hand. A magical image like a projection screen appeared in front of them.

Snow and wind, fire trails, cavalry, under the erosion of death, the snow seemed to be stained with dust.

The blinding of the raven caused a hideous demon to roar like a beast. In the terrain he was familiar with, the demon instinctively fled to a cave, but the chain hook of the Terror Rider caught him.

The cavalry was dragging forward violently, with no intention of stopping.

The long sword cut the head of the demon with pitch-black eyeballs, and when his head and neck were separated, the fire of the soul flashed, and the dead demon turned into dust and scattered in the blood mud.

It was the hunting scene when Mu Hua and his party were running.

The old man and the other two women frowned slightly. One of the women took out a stack of papers and quickly searched through the information of the guests.

"Mu Hua, Taibesha, is from the Magic Empire. Hmm? She is not from the Brigade Alliance, nor is she a noble. She comes from an ordinary wealthy merchant family."

"That boy is a professor at a lower-level magic academy. Does he have some connection with the academy?" the woman introduced Mu Hua's situation.

"Huh, he actually mastered the flash? He is too young. He can't be from the academy. The academy won't let such a kid out." Looking at the scene in the projection, another woman shook her head and said.

"It's okay to have a blind raven, but how could an ordinary wealthy family get him so many Dullahan summoned beasts?" questioned the old man in military uniform.

"Looking for? Haha, the Pale Lord, such a young Pale Lord, I even suspect that he is the illegitimate son of that old lich." The masked man chuckled and shook his head.

As soon as the man finished speaking, the other three looked at each other in surprise. The masked man closed his eyes in silence, but he did not disperse the magic image that was observing the movements of Mu Hua and the others.

The hall fell into silence. A woman quietly brewed tea for several people. When she looked at the projection again, her expression became more serious. (End of this chapter)
